so i had a great experience at every show, except there always seemed to be that one guy who kept trying to get to the from no matter what. i don't mind if you wanna get closer its fine by me so long as theres room for you to get there. there was so many times where my friends and i waited to get to the pit or railing thats before the pit other times we couldnt get to the front so we tried to get as close as possible without having to push or squeeze our selfs through.but those people who came in late and felt like they have a right to get in front of those who actually waited at the pit line or those who had been before them. had this big dude not just tall but wide who ended up cutting these 3 girls who had been waiting for cage the elephant i felt bad for them when they told me it was their first roo and one of them told me this was actually her first concert or first time seeing someone perform live music. the one that made ticked me off a bit was this volunteer guy at elton john i managed to get into the pit had been waiting in that line. so everyone was in the pit having a good time waiting on elton. as soon as his set was about to start comes this guy pushing to try to get to the front almost knocked this older lady over. so i yelled at guy hey man thats not kool all these people waited in line, next thing i know his buddy comes too pushing around he managed to grab his buddys hand and just pulled him self through pushing everyone around. once again i yelled hey man not quacking kool, he was wearing his volunteer shirt and answers with its kool man I'm staff. then points at his buddy and tells me he's also staff we get to come to the front because we are staff. so i show him my volunteer wrist band and tell him oh yea man Im staff too let me come up there, the guy just shuts up and told him yea man thats what i though. few minutes go by and they start to look back yelling a name trying to find another friend, but this time i guess the crowd got tired cause they didn't let that guy get through.

I believe that your intentions are good here but you have got to help us out with some paragraphs and capitalization and whatnot. It really detracts from what is a legitimate issue: assholic crowd behavior.

I hear ya. We had a small situation during Elton where a girl was screaming because she wanted to be in front of the tall people even though she hadn't waited like they had. However, I laughed and let it roll off. No one was ruining my moment with Elton ha I think that was the happiess set of my life. There will always be people like that who think they deserve something but for everyone one of those people there are hundreds more who aren't like that

Happens at least once a year to me as well. This year, me and crazydave23 were on the rail for Monster Truck. Two guys decided that, despite the fact that we had been on the rail 90 minutes BEFORE the band even took the stage, that they needed to be front and center. They tried....they failed.

these two ghetto skanks came through shoving on me. I widened my elbows to block them from furthering their disrespect. they pulled the usual, "I left my stuff in there." I said bullsh1t. "its not bullsh1t blah blah." sure, you really left your stuff 500 yards away as you went to the bathroom. I said just fucking go and get out of my way

also had a woman, probably in her 50s just completely losing it trying to get up front for kanye. cant remember any actual quotes but her behavior was similar to a psych patient. had this nuts look in her eye and was cussing and screaming at everyone trying to make her way forward. i just moved out of the way. if someone is in their 50s and of all people, likes kanye that much, i'd rather not risk my life stopping her insanity

I know what you guys are thinking. I swear to the Godess this was not me. I was on the rail for Mastodon.
